Future Tirthankara!
My faith is in you, my memory is devoted to you, my hands are raised in salutation to you, my ears are eager to hear your stories, my eyes behold your form, my passion is to compose beautiful hymns in your praise, and my head bows in reverence to you. Such is my service to you, my constant devotion to you. Therefore, O Lord of Radiance (Kevalgyan Swami), I am radiant, virtuous, and righteous.
These heartfelt words of Samantabhadra paint a clear picture of his profound devotion to the Arhats and how he had dedicated himself completely to their service. His deep reverence for the qualities of the Arhats is evident in his words.
This mention of Samantabhadra suggests that the "Jinshataka" text was composed at a time when he had already created many beautiful hymns and stotras, and composing praise had become his passion. It is not surprising that stotras like "Devagam," "Yuktyanusasan," and "Swayambhu" were composed before this text. It is because of these beautiful hymns that Samantabhadra was able to describe his passion for composing praise as "Sustutivyasan."
